Are Google Alerts set for "comprehensive" and "daily"?

Are the keywords in the Google Alerts too broad?  For example, if you do
a Google Alert for "real estate", Google is going to spider so much
content with those keywords that they aren't going to email you about
every one.

If you send me the blog's URL I could take a look.
